Silhouette Portrait Giveaway!

So you may or may not have heard the buzz surrounding the new Silhouette Portrait. If you havent it goes a little like this. Silhouette (the MASTER of all cutting machines) has just launched a brand new machine! Meet the Portrait:

The Silhouette Portrait™ is an electronic cutting tool for personal use. Like a home printer, it plugs into your PC or Mac® with a simple USB cable. However, instead of printing it uses a small blade to cut paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric and more up to 8″ wide and 10 feet long. The machine also has the ability to register and cut printed materials. You can cut any image or font on your computer, no cartridges necessary.

So here is the best part of todays post. I am giving one away to one lucky reader!!! All you need to do is enter the Rafflecopter below.

There is also going to be a HUGE Black Friday Promo for The Cameo, The Portrait, and everything else in the Silhouette store!! I will post it as soon as I am allowed (they have a mini gag order on me!)

There are lots of other great bloggers giving away a Portrait today, here they are (just making it easier for your to enter!)

Every year, our family has some time of small fire. The usual suspect is the marshmallow topping on the sweet potatoes, but a few years have found an errant hot pad on an element smoking up the joint. This year, Thanksgiving is at our house for the first time… I’m already praying…

Although I celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving I still think showing gratitude is fantastic any time of year. My favourite Tradition is spending time with family and friends… it’s all about the company you keep! Happy Thanksgiving, and what a fantastic giveaway! Thanks Mandi!

Woohoo! How awesomely fantastic! My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is my grandparents pomegranate salad. Yes “food ” is my favorite part, but more because it is something special my grandparents have always done, and now that they’re older and it’s hard for them to peel all the pomegranates, I get to help them make it, which is a great blessing to me.

This is going to be a rough thanksgiving so I am trying hard to focus on all of things I am thankful for, and finding ways to teach my children that gratitude is all about attitude. Thanks Mandi for always being a good example!!

My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is the thankful books I make with my daughter. Every day we write something we are thankful for and it’s great to see when she gets really into it and wants to write 2, 3, or 6 things on a given day!

This machine is amazing?!! Thanks for offering this stellar giveaway. My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is the mother of all meals. I love the family recipes, the creative table decor, but especially being gathered around the table all together, enjoying the gift.

My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is meeting up with my sister and her family at her house that night after respective “in-law” Thanksgiving celebrations to relax and tell “who has the weirdest in-laws” stories. Shhhhhh.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and everything about it is tradition. I love preparing the meal with my Mother and spending time with my family. Oh and to be a little bit selfish, I love that we celebrate my birthday on Thanksgiving!

My favorite thanksgiving tradition is after thanksgiving dinner is eaten and cleaned up, and after everyone has gone back to their homes, my mom and I would always start our Christmas decorating that night. It just always felt magical to me.

We combine Thanksgiving and Christmas due to my 5 sisters and I being scattered across the country so we end up at the family home in Kentucky for Chrisgiving! Thanksgiving Dinner late in the afternoon and then we go into Christmas mode with our gift exchange afterwards. Between kids, spouses, boyfriends/girlfriends and Grandma and Grandpa of course, there’s always between 20-28 people. It can get pretty loud but ALWAYS a great time!

Thanksgiving tradition, we take out this long white tablecloth each year and everyone writes what they are thankful for on it with a permanent marker. We even trace babies handprnts so we can remember how little they once were. Whoever has Thanksgiving Dinner at their house gets the tablecloth for their table. whole family enjoy’s it!

If I was the lucky winner, the first thing I would make would be a thank you card for my husband. After I had a stroke earlier this year at only age 43, he has been more than amazing, and today I am thankful for him.

My mom has a big tablecloth where everyone traces their hands and writes two things they are grateful for. Then my mom stitches everything onto the cloth. The next year she pulls it out again and it’s fun to read it all again. This year my brother and his wife announced their pregnancy on it.

My favorite tradition is sitting down with all of my family together in one place. It’s pretty simple, but during the rest of the year it doesn’t happen much because we each have our own crazy schedules.

My favorite Thanksgiving Day tradition is eating turkey with the family (we usually only make it once a year), doing dishes with my mom, and then going through the Black Friday ads before the big shopping day.
